First ever Kraftwerk conference to take place in 2015

Birmingham, England will play host to the first international academic conference on legendary musicians Kraftwerk and the birth of electronic music in Germany. Starting in January, the conference will take place over two days and discuss a variety of topics from cycling, to the historical influence of machines, to a discussion on the socio-historical perspectives on techno. The newly announced conference kicks 2015 off to a historic start after a year in which the group was nominated into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
